A dwarven light lance is a specialized weapon designed to allow a trained user to fight with a mount in the narrow confines of caves and tunnels. It is shorter than a typical lance, and uses a specialized grip, requiring special training to use properly.

A dwarven light lance deals double damage if used from the back of a charging mount. A wielder on foot can also receive this benefit, but the weapon must with wielded with 2 hands, or take at least a -5 penalty to their attack roll using the Power Attack feat. None of these options are availible to non-proficient wielders.
